Criminal Justice Bill 2007: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage
8:00 pm

I refer also to that grey area of anti-social behaviour. Such behaviour may not lead to someone committing a criminal offence — there is a requirement of proof that the person did commit such an offence — and there would be a difference between them and a person involved in unacceptable behaviour. However, if the advice from the Attorney General is that it would be unwise to include it because it would lead to the statute being declared unconstitutional, I will not press the amendment.
